Lineup Announcement: Swae Lee and N.Y.P.D.

We’re still gutted that Joji and d4vd won’t be able to join us for this year’s festival, but we’re delighted to announce that we have two fantastic last-minute replacements: N.Y.P.D., the local indie heroes who delivered a huge headline set at our third stage in March, will replace d4vd on the Orbit Stage at 5.30pm on Saturday, and American rapper Swae Lee will replace Joji on the Harbourflap Stage at 9.45pm on Sunday. Saturday and Sunday single-day tickets are still available at Ticketflap.

We are absolutely gutted to have to share this latest news just in from Joji: “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it to my upcoming shows in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong due to health reasons. I will be back I promise!”

We are sending our love to Joji for a swift recovery, and to all of you who we know are as disappointed with this as we are. We are working our very hardest to lock in a replacement to share with you as soon as possible. The show goes on!
